Mother, daughter flown to Columbus after Sunday crash

A Laurelville woman and her daughter were flown to Columbus hospitals after a single-vehicle crash on Bull Creek Road on Sunday.

According to the Ohio Highway Patrol, Jara McKnight, 34, was driving a 2003 Ford Mustang along Bull Creek Road when she drove off the left side of the road about 2:20 p.m. Sunday. McKnight attempted to correct and went back across the road and into a utility pole, causing the car to overturn.

McKnight's 7-year-old daughter, Jerrica, was ejected from the car, the patrol reported. Jerrica was flown by medical helicopter to Nationwide Children's Hospital, and Jara was flown to Grant Medical Center.

The patrol reported both mother and daughter were conscious at the scene. Children's Hospital reported Monday that it did not have Jerrica listed as a patient. A condition was not immediately available for Jara at Grant.

The patrol indicated that was a factor in the crash and neither Jara or Jerrica were wearing safety belts at the time of the crash.
